A sweeper extraction is scheduled in 10 Cebu City barangays this Tuesday, May 19, 2020.
The City Health Department is especially urging the workers, who will soon be reporting back for work, to have themselves tested to know if they have the infection.
Those interested to have themselves tested can visit any of the sweeper test venues in Barangays Tinago, Hipodromo, Kasambagan, Ermita, Lahug, Talamban, Quiot Pardo, Guadalupe, Punta Princessa, and Poblacion Pardo. Some businesses and industries that are located in Cebu City and in neighboring localities are expected to resume operation as soon as the Local Government Units are able to migrate from having an ECQ status to a General Community Quarantine.However, Cebu City has not been very successful in its conduct of the mass rapid testing. While the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu already posted a 100 percent turnout, Cebu City only managed to test about 35 percent of its target.
Cebu City was also allowed an extension of the mass testing from May 18 to 20. Mass testing was supposed to end on May 15.
